Hands Across Canberra

Hands Across Canberra is the ACT’s community foundation.

As an established community foundation, Hands Across Australia now works with more than 250 local community organisations.

• We raise funds for Canberra’s most vulnerable people.

• We invest the money to make it grow

• We give it back in grants.

Community foundations are about giving where you live, for the long-term benefit and enhancement of a community.

Hands Across Canberra is only 13 years old but community foundations in Canada, the United States and New Zealand have become powerful tools for giving grants and making investments in their community’s future, sometimes for a century or more.

Canberra is the most generous community in Australia. With your help, big or small, we can make a lasting, transformative difference for all our neighbours and friends right here where we live.
